Gene Garber (#597)
Description
Welcome to Season 6 of the 1988 Topps Podcast!
In 1932, Australian farms were threatened by an increase in the population of the emu, a large flightless bird. The Australian military tried to cull the flocks of emus for 40 days, but ultimately failed in a debacle that would come to be known as The Great Emu War.
